Pimoroni Badger 2040

  • BrandPimoroni

Description

Badger 2040 is a hackable, programmable badge with E Ink display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2040.

The Badger 2040 is equipped with plenty of buttons so you can easily change what's displayed on the screen, a slot so you can clip it onto a lanyard and a battery connector so you can keep things portable and refresh the screen whilst on the go.

Here are some things you could do with it!

  • Switch between images, pronouns or secret identities at the push of a button
  • Make yourself into a mobile weather station or air quality monitor (by adding a sensor breakout)
  • Store important QR codes for getting into places (or to Rickroll people)
  • Make a tiny to-do list and tick stuff off
  • Display inspirational badger quotes or educational badger facts of the day

Want to show your Badger the world? We've put together a convenient Badger + Accessory Kit which contains batteries, a lanyard and everything else that's needed to get portabello.

Features

  • 2.9' black and white E Ink display (296 x 128 pixels)
    • Ultra wide viewing angles
    • Ultra low power consumption
    • Dot pitch – 0.227 x 0.226 mm
  • Powered by RP2040 (Dual Arm Cortex M0+ running at up to 133 Mhz with 264 kB of SRAM)
  • 2 MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP
  • Five front user buttons
  • Reset and boot buttons (the boot button can also be used as a user button)
  • White LED
  • USB-C connector for power and programming
  • JST-PH connector for attaching a battery (input range 2.7-6 V)
  • High-precision voltage reference for battery level monitoring
  • Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector
  • Fully-assembled (no soldering required)
  • Schematic
  • Mechanical drawing
  • C++/MicroPython libraries

Software

Because it's a RP2040 board, Badger 2040 is firmware agnostic! You can program it with C/C++, MicroPython or CircuitPython.

C++/MicroPython libraries contain some nifty software tweaks to let you get the most out of your Badger. You'll get best performance using C++, but if you're a beginner we'd recommend using our batteries included MicroPython build for ease of getting started.

You can also use CircuitPython on your Badger 2040. CircuitPython drivers are designed to work on a bunch of different microcontrollers so you won't get the fancy RP2040-architecture specific tweaks that you'll find in the library, but you will get access to all the nice conveniences of Adafruit's ecosystem.
